Having just read Jim's post above, I think it might be relevant to copy on to this thread a letter I sent to The Times this morning. Did any of you know about this? Sir, You report on page 19 ("Police ready for clashes at BNP festival") that in previous years there have been complaints of "the playing of Third Reich martial tunes". I was astonished, googling British military marches on YouTube the other day, to discover that a few clicks of the mouse on "Related Videos" would bring me videos of "The Waffen SS March", "The Afrika Corps March", "Hitler's 'Sieg Heil'", "Viktoria Sieg Heil" ... all complete with footage of Der Führer and his acolytes; and all available free-online. I wonder how many people know this. MICHAEL GROSVENOR MYER Cambridge
